July 2013 Twitterature

Last month was rather slow as I only finished 3 books, but was on the brink of finishing a few more. This shows in July’s Twitterature roundup as I finished 8 books! As always, this is a part of Modern Mrs. Darcy’s Roundup and consists of short, casual book reviews in less than 140 characters.

The Eczema Cure by Emily Bartlett: An excellent overview of what you can do yourself to heal #eczema – specifically from a dietary standpoint

Your description of Suite Francaise as “unpolished” struck a chord with me. I hated the first half of this book. I stuck with it out of principle, because of the story behind it, and ended up being glad I did.

The Eczema Cure intrigues me. My son has sensitive, eczema-prone skin and I’m curious as to what the book might say about any dietary contributors. Also, I loved Suite Francaise. It was so fresh and raw and gave such a unique perspective on World War II. Have you read anything else of hers? I read Fire in the Blood and enjoyed it too.
